参考答案: President Bush said he hoped Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, has the same desire to move the bill forward as he does.
But Reid told reporters most Democrats support the bill, and that it is up to the president to deliver Republican votes.
"We have done our job. It is not a question of Democrats doing anything. It is a question of Republicans supporting their own president."
The top Republican in the Senate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, was asked if President Bush managed to secure any more Republican support for the bill.
"I think a lot of that will depend on what it looks like in the end. None of us knows that yet. So, it was a good give and take. We did not expect anybody to stand up and holler that they had an epiphany. We had a very good discussion about the issue."
Senator Reid could bring the bill to the Senate floor again as early as the end of next week, after senators complete energy legislation.
